MCD15A3H.006 MODIS Leaf Area Index/FPAR 4-Day Global 500m (MODIS/006/MCD15A3H)
Version V006
The MCD15A3H V6 level 4, Combined Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR), and Leaf Area Index (LAI) product is a 4-day composite data set with 500 meter pixel size. The algorithm chooses the “best” pixel available from all the acquisitions of both MODIS sensors located on NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites from within the 4-day period.
| Name | Description | Gee:wavelength | Gee:scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fpar | FPAR absorbed by the green elements of a vegetation canopy | 400-700nm | 0.01 |
| Lai | One-sided green leaf area per unit ground area in broadleaf canopies; one-half the total needle surface area per unit ground area in coniferous canopies | 0.1 | |
